Gary MastrianoHOST
Welcome back to Every Song Sucks, the Real Big Fish Podcast, where each week we discuss a different Real Big Fish song chosen completely at random.
Gary MastrianoHOST
And this week, we're discussing Real Big Fish's cover, because this is thankfully the last week of the Summer of Covers! Woo! This band does so many covers.
Gary MastrianoHOST
Anyway, we're discussing their cover of Tracy Chapman's Talking About a Revolution, originally off the album We're Not Happy Till You're Not Happy.
Gary MastrianoHOST
And I am Gary.
Matt VestHOST
And then I was familiar with...
Matt VestHOST
I don't know why.
Matt VestHOST
I will say, I'm not a big... tracy chapman fan nothing against her music but like when the real big fish put this out i knew that this was a cover of tracy a tracy chapman song but i like where have how do i know what this is i could not and it's from like a 1988 album it's like her first album i so i guess i must have heard it somewhere in just the you know the back of my mind and it you know so when i when it came out on um we're not happy till you're not happy I knew what it was um so yeah so I'm aware of Tracy Chapman she has a phenomenal voice but like her overall like I'm not like I wouldn't I wouldn't know the deep cuts of Tracy Chapman you know I know the hits
Gary MastrianoHOST
wow I want to I want to stop you right there real quick and then you could continue Anthony I just looked up Tracy Chapman on Apple music.
Daniel CastadyGUEST
The Space Girl self-titled one was out.
Daniel CastadyGUEST
And he had just like done a little like a smidge of production on the Real Big Fish record and kind of helped like A&R them a little bit.
Daniel CastadyGUEST
So he's like, I think I could like really help this band out.
Daniel CastadyGUEST
and so, yeah, after that show, he called us like a couple of weeks later, he's like, come to LA.
BradHOST
And as I said on the previous album, these always work, again, as long as he chooses the right songs.
BradHOST
Next, your horoscope for today, style of Real Big Fish, which, again, I've heard of them, but couldn't name anything else.
BradHOST
from them upbeat lots of horns accordion runs through all the astrological signs starts with aquarius chorus call and response that's your horoscope for today overlaps in there with the backing vocals break down really fast cadence, Sagittarius, all your friends are laughing behind your back, and then there's this faint kill them in kind of an evil voice with tons of effects on it.
BradHOST
I like the overall idea of this song, but it's just too all over the place.
TylerHOST
But yeah, so the Vandals played Sick Quick Set and then Goldfinger came on and they put on a fucking show, man.
TylerHOST
They had the trombonist and trumpeter from Real Big Fish played pretty much the whole set.
TylerHOST
El Jefe from No Effects came out and played a song with them, which was super rad.
TylerHOST
Singer from...
JeffHOST
Yeah, what fucking song was it?
TylerHOST
But anyway.
TylerHOST
But yeah, so then they had the singer from Real Big Fish come out.
TylerHOST
They did all the Real Big Fish stuff.
JERGUEST
Even if you were to replace one member, that's a different band, you know? And you're gonna get a different experience.
JERGUEST
Think about Real Big Fish.
JERGUEST
Think about how Real Big Fish was when Scott left.
JERGUEST
Different band.
JERGUEST
And then Dan, different band.
JERGUEST
And then they get back together.
JERGUEST
People love that real big fish got back together because Scott was back in the band.
JERGUEST
Anyone can AI recreate a classic real big fish song, but you're not getting the Scott and Aaron dynamic.
Orbital AlbertHOST
They're a larger kind of ska-ish band.
Orbital AlbertHOST
Real Big Fish was also kind of like ska direction.
Orbital AlbertHOST
So I've got to go to so many Warped Tours and see countless ska bands that are kind of, some of them are ska, some of them are punk, some of them are ska punk.
Orbital AlbertHOST
And this is the closest we've ever got.
